Here is one for

the real

music-lovers.

Something vastly

different.

Ever herd of 12-

tone music?

Here is the definition (Wiki): The technique is a

means of ensuring that all 12 notes of the chromatic

scale are sounded as often as one another in a piece

of music while preventing the emphasis of any one

note through the use of tone rows, orderings of the

12 pitch classes. All 12 notes are thus given more or

less equal importance, and the music avoids being

in a key.

Let us translate: A twelve-tone scale has 12 pitches,

each a semitone higher and lower than the adjacent

pitch.

It is not in a key. And every note has equal weight in

the composition.

Listen to a piece here:

Weird? Let us see how they compose it.

Can it then be like real music? Yes

It has some interesting consequences. Rhythm does

not exists anymore. Music is now a matter of pitches

(frequency spectrum) and transformations. Transformations

are guided by laws of mathematics.
